String Quartet no. 14
Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Vermeer Quartet
String Quartet No. 14 in C-sharp minor, Op. 131, is the fourteenth string quartet by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed in 1826. Part of Beethoven's late quartets, the work comprises seven movements played without pause and features dense contrapuntal textures, adventurous harmonic progressions and wide-ranging expressive contrasts that characterise his late-period style and influenced subsequent chamber music.
First released: 1991
